The Before and After

All she wanted was the fairy tale life: husband, family and a happily ever after. Yet Ruth Lisath found herself pregnant at nineteen and left by her fiancée, a man she thought loved her. This would become only the start of her journey down a dangerous path, until Jesus found her and brought her back to God. In her untitled semi-autobiography, Ruth describes her downward spiral into drugs, alcohol and promiscuity, getting into harder drugs like cocaine, heroin and prescriptions. This led to drug hustling, as she tried to raise her two children. As she struggled with her addictions, Ruth recalled her God-centered upbringing, prayers of her Christian mother and church attendance as God's call to her. It wasn't until she hit rock bottom that Ruth realized she was in a battle between Satan and God, and she needed the discernment of God's will to overcome the devil's sin tactics.
